I don't intend it is city managers presentation we have item eleven 241 00:21:10,08 --> 00:21:12,75 this reports from boys and city officers eleven 242 00:21:12,76 --> 00:21:19,56 a. Grant application to the Wisconsin Department of 243 00:21:19,57 --> 00:21:21,32 Natural Resources to 244 00:21:21,33 --> 00:21:26,65 a system funding the ironworks pedestrian bridge over the Rock River and trailhead 245 00:21:26,66 --> 00:21:32,26 project within the Light City Center Mr Boyce. In cooperation with the Hendricks 246 00:21:32,27 --> 00:21:34,77 commercial properties the city is interested in developing 247 00:21:34,81 --> 00:21:37,73 a pedestrian bridge over the Rock River which will incorporate 248 00:21:37,74 --> 00:21:42,08 a trailhead at the iron works in the Boyd City Center the project cost is over one 249 00:21:42,09 --> 00:21:46,07 million dollars and grant funding will make the project feasible the city would be 250 00:21:46,08 --> 00:21:49,43 the project sponsor with local matching funds provided by the Hendrix commercial 251 00:21:49,44 --> 00:21:55,55 development company. The project will enhance quality of life employed by providing 252 00:21:55,81 --> 00:21:59,64 kind of to be between the east and west side of the Rock River in the city center 253 00:22:00,68 --> 00:22:04,77 it is recommended that the Council approve the resolution authorizing the city 254 00:22:04,78 --> 00:22:06,76 manager to apply for the Wisconsin D.N.R. 255 00:22:06,77 --> 00:22:11,70 Grant no budget impact would go since the local share the project has to be 256 00:22:11,71 --> 00:22:18,17 provided by the hundred hours probably still. Are there any 257 00:22:18,18 --> 00:22:22,84 questions it counts or deforest. Think you have lots of questions. 258 00:22:24,86 --> 00:22:28,73 First of all Mr Bryson Do you know what the clearance will be of this pedestrian 259 00:22:28,74 --> 00:22:34,86 bridge. That you're in the water and I answered Yes Offhand I don't I know it's 260 00:22:34,87 --> 00:22:39,69 higher than the the high level flood elevations so it would certainly meet all 261 00:22:39,70 --> 00:22:41,72 applicable standards the that the N.R.A. 262 00:22:41,73 --> 00:22:46,62 Has said some preliminary conversations with. The veteran company in particular who 263 00:22:46,75 --> 00:22:53,01 has been engaged by the company so. Exactly what the elevations I don't know I know 264 00:22:53,02 --> 00:22:57,10 they would comply with all the ethical standards controlled by elevating about 265 00:22:57,11 --> 00:23:03,07 flight elevations OK and who are responsible for the main That's. The discussion 266 00:23:03,99 --> 00:23:10,21 the discussions today do provide for an agreement to eventually be. Adopted between 267 00:23:10,22 --> 00:23:13,82 the city and under its company the maintenance is proposed to be 268 00:23:13,86 --> 00:23:17,20 a city maintained project there has been discussion of 269 00:23:17,21 --> 00:23:22,30 a. Of an escrow account that would help assist with that in the detail that are yet 270 00:23:22,31 --> 00:23:27,50 to be finalized with that agreement. I guess as of discomfort with boarding for 271 00:23:27,51 --> 00:23:30,64 this and I don't really know what that means financially for the city the 272 00:23:30,65 --> 00:23:36,98 maintenance of that and. I'm having trouble understanding the public benefit. In 273 00:23:37,23 --> 00:23:43,42 Cross away when the West Grand Avenue you know bridge is so close I mean how does 274 00:23:43,43 --> 00:23:50,31 it help connectivity. It actually diverts 275 00:23:50,32 --> 00:23:55,62 people from downtown we want people to get downtown from the bypass. Well that 276 00:23:55,63 --> 00:24:00,84 accommodates flow throughout the downtown of course and. There's proposals for 277 00:24:00,85 --> 00:24:04,04 various improvements in the Iron Works development that's underway I think the 278 00:24:04,05 --> 00:24:04,50 Y.M.C.A. 279 00:24:04,51 --> 00:24:08,44 Very likely will end up there and it will be an important trailhead for access to 280 00:24:08,45 --> 00:24:12,57 that and it will be more direct from the east side to the west of course as reverse 281 00:24:12,58 --> 00:24:17,57 traffic. Dated by it also. I think it'll be 282 00:24:17,58 --> 00:24:21,33 a beautiful facility from some of the preliminary diagrams that have been shown to 283 00:24:21,34 --> 00:24:28,02 us and. Of course maintenance is not an intern consequential item so the city. 284 00:24:29,40 --> 00:24:29,58 At 285 00:24:29,59 --> 00:24:34,13 a point in time would need to the hope is of course the grant would be approved and 286 00:24:34,14 --> 00:24:38,88 that point of the city would have to accept the grant and we would anticipate that 287 00:24:38,89 --> 00:24:45,87 the all the agreements between Hendricks and the city would come. This is the 288 00:24:45,88 --> 00:24:50,46 layout of of the project maintenance costs and whatever provisions the escrow 289 00:24:51,19 --> 00:24:57,25 providing to cover those and other question I had on because the city is using is 290 00:24:57,26 --> 00:25:02,07 applying for the stand on a grant on the Hundred So does this 291 00:25:02,08 --> 00:25:06,31 a facts I mean is there a sense in the D.N.R. 292 00:25:06,32 --> 00:25:12,31 That city should only ask for so much money and are using a. Sizable chunk of D.N.R. 293 00:25:12,35 --> 00:25:16,17 Grant funds to go after this pedestrian bridge and we could go after something else 294 00:25:17,35 --> 00:25:21,00 no I think all the indications we received is they when they rank these projects. 295 00:25:21,82 --> 00:25:27,23 Basically bring a project compare to other projects not the original get 296 00:25:27,24 --> 00:25:33,78 a limited amount or anything that nature so we and we got the board for the college 297 00:25:33,79 --> 00:25:40,61 related. Riverwalk project we didn't get the application we made on walk Avenue but 298 00:25:40,62 --> 00:25:46,44 we received no indication that it had to do with having to. Two submittals in the 299 00:25:46,52 --> 00:25:47,38 packet it was simply 300 00:25:47,88 --> 00:25:52,55 a rating process of all the projects in the BEEN is what has been indicated to us 301 00:25:52,80 --> 00:25:53,58 so you don't have 302 00:25:53,59 --> 00:25:57,82 a sense that I wanted this grant which affects the likelihood that we would be able 303 00:25:57,83 --> 00:25:59,38 to pursue other grants from the D.N.R. 304 00:25:59,39 --> 00:26:01,80 You don't think that they consider that they've already granted 305 00:26:01,81 --> 00:26:06,91 a word to the community before we met received any indication to that effect. OK 306 00:26:06,99 --> 00:26:11,22 And there is there is no kind of community caps in terms of how much T N R gram 307 00:26:11,23 --> 00:26:18,04 funds can be distributed per municipality and the very things that nothing rates 308 00:26:18,05 --> 00:26:22,19 that particular criteria and anything we've seen OK Thank you those are all my 309 00:26:22,20 --> 00:26:28,07 questions. Cancer Kinkaid. As 310 00:26:28,08 --> 00:26:34,88 a recreational cycler I have been looking forward to the opening of the bridge. Now 311 00:26:35,07 --> 00:26:38,83 will it be connecting to a public street and. Of course 312 00:26:38,84 --> 00:26:43,93 a bike path on the other side. Of course that connects directly to the existing 313 00:26:43,94 --> 00:26:49,65 river walk up half way to the west side it'll provide for is meant to traverse 314 00:26:49,66 --> 00:26:53,69 through the iron works onto our our street and pay off the slums further to the 315 00:26:53,70 --> 00:26:59,84 west the easement. Works for grant the city the easement. 316 00:27:01,75 --> 00:27:08,51 Easement or whatever. I'm sure would be at least twelve step and designed yet no 317 00:27:08,57 --> 00:27:15,50 it's not as if. We don't we haven't seen what the easement. Entails at 318 00:27:15,51 --> 00:27:18,26 this point the terms of rights of 319 00:27:18,27 --> 00:27:23,14 a excess maintenance. Would do the maintenance maintenance on it. 320 00:27:25,87 --> 00:27:32,87 If it's I guess the detail of it I've. Seen. Whether it's something that we 321 00:27:32,88 --> 00:27:39,23 public already on the proposal there or not I'm not certain about. It well. 322 00:27:40,34 --> 00:27:44,28 Respected clearance I'm sure that it will not only will handle all the flood water 323 00:27:44,29 --> 00:27:49,74 but will probably be high enough for all. Ships to pass through as well. 324 00:27:51,11 --> 00:27:58,11 Good I'm glad for that assurance Thank you. Vice President 325 00:27:58,12 --> 00:28:04,65 Hans Yes I think that one of the things I noticed at peak times that the Grand 326 00:28:04,66 --> 00:28:10,00 Avenue Bridge the. Walks on it or are filled with with traffic people you know 327 00:28:10,01 --> 00:28:16,99 having to go into the street get one another I think. I'm noticing too is that 328 00:28:17,40 --> 00:28:22,52 one of the reasons why they would like to connect ironworks with ironwork Soto is 329 00:28:22,53 --> 00:28:27,70 because people who are visiting ironworks businesses who are saying to the hotel 330 00:28:27,74 --> 00:28:34,71 tend. To walk down over the other bridge I'm thinking that 331 00:28:35,25 --> 00:28:39,91 typically truck to pedestrian bridge would be an enhancement to the city and I 332 00:28:39,92 --> 00:28:45,76 believe that it will help pedestrians and bikers get around more easily at peak 333 00:28:45,77 --> 00:28:50,09 time so I think that if the details can be hammered out I think this is 334 00:28:50,10 --> 00:28:57,02 a worthwhile project. City Mr President to clarify that I have seen the 335 00:28:57,03 --> 00:29:01,93 plans and there will be a mini wide bike pedestrian path that will be in 336 00:29:01,94 --> 00:29:06,61 a dedicated easement that will run through the Spine road through the middle of the 337 00:29:06,82 --> 00:29:10,73 works campus and that will connect to the new bridge which of course connects to 338 00:29:10,74 --> 00:29:15,48 the east river side trail system and on the west side it will take you all the way 339 00:29:15,49 --> 00:29:19,76 through to Third Street and then you'll have to loop around to go up St Lawrence to 340 00:29:19,77 --> 00:29:25,15 at the fifth street bike path but that's an easy connection on the west side so 341 00:29:25,52 --> 00:29:28,51 part of the public purpose for the bridge is to provide 342 00:29:28,52 --> 00:29:33,14 a direct connection for bicyclist and pedestrians going from the east to the west 343 00:29:33,15 --> 00:29:37,78 side of the river without having to use the public streets so that's our primary 344 00:29:37,79 --> 00:29:42,80 interest the company's interest of course is to connect the hotel to the entire 345 00:29:42,99 --> 00:29:45,52 works campus so that a lot of the trade 346 00:29:45,53 --> 00:29:49,29 a lot of the business of the hotel will support those businesses that are in the 347 00:29:49,30 --> 00:29:51,98 Iron Works and vice versa so I think we only have 348 00:29:51,99 --> 00:29:55,52 a joint interest here in building the project both the public and 349 00:29:55,53 --> 00:30:01,71 a private purpose that will serve. Counselor looking. 350 00:30:03,90 --> 00:30:05,54 Beautiful and striking 351 00:30:05,55 --> 00:30:11,41 a minute don't tumble right further growth and it's just I'm just excited to start 352 00:30:11,42 --> 00:30:16,60 the growth and if we're through with questions oh make the proposal for. The 353 00:30:16,61 --> 00:30:19,16 resolution we have more questions we can certainly get 354 00:30:19,17 --> 00:30:26,09 a motion on the table. Is their second thirty second thereby hence and will 355 00:30:26,10 --> 00:30:30,27 continue to cancer Kinkaid. Just 356 00:30:30,28 --> 00:30:36,60 a question of clarification so the street at. The ironworks would be 357 00:30:36,61 --> 00:30:42,78 a private street maintained by. Hendricks is that correct will be 358 00:30:43,30 --> 00:30:49,38 OK Yes that's. Right. OK yes five. 359 00:30:52,27 --> 00:30:58,28 Zero zero. Zero zero. Zero. 360 00:30:59,39 --> 00:31:06,39 Will say. So but there will be access of course for emergency responders to 361 00:31:06,52 --> 00:31:13,47 you set their own of course. But we had anticipated 362 00:31:13,48 --> 00:31:16,89 any. Ethic would be 363 00:31:16,90 --> 00:31:23,67 a parking lot connecting to the bike path crossing it or. Look parking 364 00:31:23,68 --> 00:31:30,40 What specifically related to their course all the parking facilities. Not having 365 00:31:30,41 --> 00:31:36,04 seen the plans I'm sorry to ask some people questions as they are. On their side of 366 00:31:36,05 --> 00:31:42,17 the easy walking axis like were mentioned you know thank you. But the sort of 367 00:31:42,18 --> 00:31:48,92 forced. So Mr poison based on the one drawing we've been provided on is there 368 00:31:49,33 --> 00:31:53,43 there's not and here acts it from the parking lot onto that Spine road to not worry 369 00:31:53,44 --> 00:32:00,07 about cars coming out or going into that parking. I don't see one indicated. That's 370 00:32:00,08 --> 00:32:05,77 right to be amusement that would be off the road for four bikes will be. Shared 371 00:32:05,78 --> 00:32:09,62 with traffic is what all the discussion is but I don't see are in easement can be 372 00:32:09,66 --> 00:32:13,74 off the road because there's nothing off the road besides a building in 373 00:32:13,75 --> 00:32:19,37 a parking lot so it have to go down the road it looks like to me I just want to 374 00:32:19,38 --> 00:32:26,36 make sure that if part of the point of this is to help biker. Get from each side 375 00:32:26,37 --> 00:32:31,15 west side or vice versa that they're not having to go to battle with cars we don't 376 00:32:31,16 --> 00:32:36,20 have to do that on Grand Avenue. But you know certainly don't have the option to 377 00:32:36,21 --> 00:32:39,11 take your preferred route but I think my understanding is it'll be 378 00:32:39,12 --> 00:32:44,31 a very nice accommodation for by school and pedestrians to the west. 379 00:32:46,38 --> 00:32:46,69 It will be 380 00:32:46,70 --> 00:32:52,82 a dedicated to separate state but it is in the Spine road pardon me it has been 381 00:32:52,83 --> 00:32:57,32 a spine rotation all the way to get through so I will go through I as part of 382 00:32:57,33 --> 00:32:58,64 a spiral that it will be 383 00:32:58,81 --> 00:33:05,01 a dedicated specialty gas training biters. I guess 384 00:33:05,37 --> 00:33:09,52 I'll just make my comment that I am uncomfortable supporting the US when I'm not 385 00:33:09,53 --> 00:33:12,63 clear who's going to be responsible for maintenance that makes me very 386 00:33:12,64 --> 00:33:18,39 uncomfortable and I'm not convinced of the overwhelming benefit to apply for 387 00:33:18,40 --> 00:33:25,26 a million dollar grant for this song Thank You. I have to question in 388 00:33:25,27 --> 00:33:29,79 terms of the clearance do we know would this be possible under 389 00:33:29,80 --> 00:33:34,68 a bike or Kayak or would it be lower to the water than that it certainly would be 390 00:33:34,76 --> 00:33:36,76 it would be similar to other bridges. 391 00:33:43,51 --> 00:33:48,21 And what is the. What is the timeline on the screen to pick 392 00:33:48,22 --> 00:33:55,18 a show process. The definite is coming up pretty soon. And then at once it's 393 00:33:55,19 --> 00:33:56,62 submitted I believe it'll be on 394 00:33:56,63 --> 00:34:02,75 a similar script last year with our big hill parks project and it seemed that it 395 00:34:02,76 --> 00:34:05,29 was thought to be in the fall that they were going out there seem like there are 396 00:34:05,30 --> 00:34:10,72 some delays that might occur again that's commonly happens but later this year we 397 00:34:10,73 --> 00:34:16,44 would know it's my understanding is the council committed to going ahead and having 398 00:34:16,45 --> 00:34:20,06 this built if we approve the grant application today to get the grant to work where 399 00:34:20,07 --> 00:34:23,81 we have another bite at the apple in terms of making sure I mean it's pieces taken 400 00:34:23,82 --> 00:34:29,51 care of yes certainly the Grand it wouldn't even be accepted by the council will be 401 00:34:29,52 --> 00:34:35,47 applied for and but the actual improvement of the bike facility would be 402 00:34:35,48 --> 00:34:40,23 a public improvement so the. Council certainly have an approval of that plan at 403 00:34:40,24 --> 00:34:46,08 such time all that is worked out in fine detail. And also be an agreement between 404 00:34:46,09 --> 00:34:48,14 Hendricks and the city that would be 405 00:34:48,15 --> 00:34:54,14 a new agreement to have council action on cancer kid I'm sorry. 406 00:34:55,72 --> 00:35:02,45 But I so we would we would build the bike path on the. On the private 407 00:35:02,68 --> 00:35:09,61 street or at Hendrix would build. The proposal now is for. The city 408 00:35:09,62 --> 00:35:14,82 to be the lead agency pursuant to the grantor arrangements and the detail of 409 00:35:14,83 --> 00:35:20,36 exactly who would be the contracting agency would all be defined in the city and 410 00:35:20,37 --> 00:35:26,77 understood element. Well that's not absolutely determined my question is is 411 00:35:27,39 --> 00:35:33,74 it's on the west side of the street the side of the river there's the private 412 00:35:33,75 --> 00:35:40,41 street would be built on private land. That's what exists on private land and I 413 00:35:40,42 --> 00:35:45,92 just wanted to be clear that that part of the bike path will be built. Entity the 414 00:35:46,24 --> 00:35:47,68 street is that 415 00:35:47,69 --> 00:35:52,40 a correct assumption it will certainly be funded by all the discussion about to be 416 00:35:52,48 --> 00:35:57,71 all all local funding would be provided by the company and I it's my impression 417 00:35:57,72 --> 00:35:59,72 that that would be the case the bridge I'm 418 00:35:59,73 --> 00:36:03,38 a little less clear on how they will contract for that day when you got but two 419 00:36:03,39 --> 00:36:07,60 different things here the resolution this evening is simply to apply for 420 00:36:07,61 --> 00:36:13,48 a grant to cover half for the pedestrian bike that Aster in bridge across the river 421 00:36:14,09 --> 00:36:18,90 on the Spine road which had Ricks commercial properties is already building there 422 00:36:18,91 --> 00:36:21,95 will be satisfied at least ten feet wide of 423 00:36:21,96 --> 00:36:26,75 a bike that Astra and pap that will be built as the Spine road is completed and 424 00:36:26,76 --> 00:36:30,98 will be maintained by Hendrick commercial properties along with the road all the 425 00:36:30,99 --> 00:36:35,79 other properties on their campus thank you welcome. 426 00:36:38,72 --> 00:36:45,69 Vice President Haynes. I think I think it so come forward to that and what I really 427 00:36:45,71 --> 00:36:49,62 meant was interested in saying is that really this is comes down to application for 428 00:36:49,64 --> 00:36:54,76 the grant we're going to have another crack at this if if we're terribly worried 429 00:36:54,76 --> 00:36:59,80 about it the devil will be in the details I think we should leave. And get our name 430 00:36:59,80 --> 00:37:03,76 in the ring to go ahead and you know get this grant if it all possible. 431 00:37:07,35 --> 00:37:08,18 There is a motion 432 00:37:08,19 --> 00:37:14,59 a second is there any further discussion. Saying not all in favor say aye and 433 00:37:15,19 --> 00:37:22,10 post. This is approved six to one. Eleven 434 00:37:22,11 --> 00:37:28,60 B. . Resolution approving second mace extension agreement and 435 00:37:28,64 --> 00:37:32,54 a day end one hundred East Grand Avenue the late Wisconsin. 436 00:37:35,93 --> 00:37:42,93 Attorney Greer. Council is aware fat wallet currently leases some space in eight at 437 00:37:42,97 --> 00:37:47,20 eighty and one hundred East grant from the city of Beloit they have asked for an 438 00:37:47,21 --> 00:37:50,29 extension of their lease for an additional three years it's actually 439 00:37:50,30 --> 00:37:54,54 a one year extension with two additional options for other years as you know that 440 00:37:54,55 --> 00:37:58,91 well it came to the city after Illinois passed the on line tax budget and 441 00:37:58,92 --> 00:38:03,65 a very good tenant for the city as a council is also where the city is 442 00:38:03,66 --> 00:38:07,75 a negotiation with hundreds of commercial properties to sell those buildings and 443 00:38:07,76 --> 00:38:08,87 this will provide fat wallet 444 00:38:08,88 --> 00:38:14,44 a level of. In that moving forward so some of the highlights of the leases that 445 00:38:14,45 --> 00:38:19,23 again it's extending for one year with two additional one year terms the least rate 446 00:38:19,24 --> 00:38:24,72 is at five dollars and five point zero six five per square foot. And that will 447 00:38:24,73 --> 00:38:30,92 escalate three percent each year. As with that wall is responsible for paying all 448 00:38:30,93 --> 00:38:33,43 the utilities and for the vacant part of the property there's 449 00:38:33,44 --> 00:38:38,44 a rant credit or there's utility credit. Which is not just over nine hundred 450 00:38:38,45 --> 00:38:42,56 dollars with this second lease extension we've also addressed the issue of the real 451 00:38:42,57 --> 00:38:46,55 estate X. Real estate taxes previously there was about three hundred dollars 452 00:38:46,87 --> 00:38:51,72 a month payment and that's been in the fifty dollars per month it more reflects 453 00:38:51,73 --> 00:38:56,57 accurately what those real estate taxes are for that parcel. And then there's also 454 00:38:56,58 --> 00:38:59,57 some additional minor language changes that just gives that while the level of 455 00:38:59,58 --> 00:39:05,92 protection should Hendrix commercial properties be interested in doing anything 456 00:39:05,93 --> 00:39:09,38 with that property in the future and with that I'll take any questions if anyone 457 00:39:09,39 --> 00:39:14,81 has any player any questions.

Over one hundred thousand dollars to develop 484 00:41:22,33 --> 00:41:28,05 a plan that's the and that's just thirty percent of the cost of the Plan B. 485 00:41:28,60 --> 00:41:31,16 Of the current year budget amendment as covering 486 00:41:32,05 --> 00:41:37,47 a basically the local share that we would need to expend within this year so we'll 487 00:41:37,48 --> 00:41:41,63 need to get thirty percent of the plans done for the grant application then we'll 488 00:41:41,64 --> 00:41:46,15 need to complete the the plans to proceed then with the two thousand and sixteen 489 00:41:46,16 --> 00:41:51,91 construction of the improvements so it will cover the full cost of the designing. 490 00:41:52,79 --> 00:41:59,27 Supposed to be done in twenty fifty. How much how much is the total plan for the 491 00:41:59,28 --> 00:42:02,28 water system at this once again it's not 492 00:42:02,29 --> 00:42:08,12 a water system president yet let me let me I'm sorry we need to clarify this the 493 00:42:08,13 --> 00:42:13,32 water main and Kali road is under construction now Council approved that 494 00:42:13,40 --> 00:42:18,31 construction project several weeks ago what you're looking at here under funding 495 00:42:18,32 --> 00:42:25,07 sources or three prior capital improvement projects that were funded with good 496 00:42:25,08 --> 00:42:31,02 ten proceeds those projects have been completed are near complete and there's funds 497 00:42:31,06 --> 00:42:37,35 remaining in those original budgets and what we're doing is we're transferring or 498 00:42:37,36 --> 00:42:39,78 recommending you do is transfer 499 00:42:39,79 --> 00:42:44,81 a total of one hundred forty two thousand dollars that are left in those various 500 00:42:44,82 --> 00:42:49,30 budgets now that those projects are completed and reappropriate at in 501 00:42:49,31 --> 00:42:55,21 a new expect out for the Cali road construction and ten thousand dollars of that 502 00:42:55,22 --> 00:42:59,25 amount will go for in-house engineering and approximately one hundred thirty two 503 00:42:59,26 --> 00:43:04,65 thousand for the consulting engineer that will design the roadway and we've got to 504 00:43:04,66 --> 00:43:05,14 get to 505 00:43:05,15 --> 00:43:09,88 a thirty percent design standard to have some preliminary concepts lay out six 506 00:43:09,89 --> 00:43:14,96 cetera before we make the team grant application we need to get that application in 507 00:43:14,97 --> 00:43:19,62 by late summer we're going to get that reviewed and approved and get the plan 508 00:43:19,63 --> 00:43:20,68 Spanish rate 509 00:43:20,69 --> 00:43:25,26 a bit late this winter early next spring so that's what we're asking you tonight is 510 00:43:25,27 --> 00:43:30,39 simply to approve one hundred forty two thousand dollars with the sources coming 511 00:43:30,40 --> 00:43:35,52 from prior capital projects that have funds remaining now that those projects have 512 00:43:35,53 --> 00:43:42,48 been built. I believe. What we're asking for 513 00:43:42,49 --> 00:43:46,25 I guess my question is still why does it cost this much money to develop 514 00:43:46,26 --> 00:43:52,20 a plan. And injuring plan is. That amount of money for 515 00:43:52,21 --> 00:43:58,57 a project of the scope. The actual price of the agreement is 516 00:43:59,29 --> 00:44:04,57 under the under to negotiation so we will ensure that we do the very best job 517 00:44:04,58 --> 00:44:11,39 possible to come in hopefully well with under in the budget allocation but that 518 00:44:11,58 --> 00:44:12,87 is what we feel we would need to have 519 00:44:12,88 --> 00:44:17,91 a certainty of completing the project and I would anticipate we won't want to see 520 00:44:17,92 --> 00:44:22,08 that we will hopefully be below that by in the fiscal year so this money is going 521 00:44:22,09 --> 00:44:23,42 to a consultant to develop 522 00:44:23,43 --> 00:44:28,72 a plan yes these are engineering and design plans and how much is the total cost of 523 00:44:28,73 --> 00:44:33,16 this plan that this is just thirty percent done no no this is all of it now this is 524 00:44:33,17 --> 00:44:37,94 the total engineering cost you have to get to the thirty percent which is 525 00:44:37,95 --> 00:44:42,49 a preliminary plan step in are to have the detail we need to apply for the T. 526 00:44:42,50 --> 00:44:47,05 Grant That's got to be Foundation immediately in the next three or four months so 527 00:44:47,06 --> 00:44:51,47 we can get the grant applications submitted one hundred forty two thousand we think 528 00:44:51,48 --> 00:44:56,26 is enough to do the design work for the entire project well no more as we progress 529 00:44:56,76 --> 00:45:00,53 there our estimate is that there will be sufficient for engineering and design 530 00:45:00,54 --> 00:45:06,75 services for the entire project. I'm sorry I guess I'm just having 531 00:45:06,76 --> 00:45:11,85 a hard time buying that it cost one hundred forty two thousand to hire. A design 532 00:45:11,86 --> 00:45:17,83 plan that that seems that seems incredible to me you're kidding that's that's very 533 00:45:17,84 --> 00:45:22,53 much an operating with China standard cost for all of our infrastructure projects 534 00:45:22,92 --> 00:45:27,12 there's nothing unique or different here the plan costs will be somewhere in the 535 00:45:27,13 --> 00:45:32,36 six seven percent range of the total project we're talking about constructing 536 00:45:32,37 --> 00:45:38,72 a brand new road from scratch with the urban industrial design 537 00:45:38,73 --> 00:45:42,97 standards similar to the gateway Boulevard only on offer will be four lane or not 538 00:45:42,98 --> 00:45:48,23 we have got porn up in the design and there will be storm sewers installed bating 539 00:45:48,24 --> 00:45:53,45 street trees there's a sidewalk pedestrian path will be on than our side to be on 540 00:45:53,46 --> 00:45:57,04 a line. On a road bypass so I'll be 541 00:45:57,05 --> 00:46:00,90 a complete new construction. On the I'm 542 00:46:01,00 --> 00:46:07,72 a mess and what's different here. Is you put it off. And we're saying that that 543 00:46:07,79 --> 00:46:13,77 car only ten thousand but the design can be done in house staff the arguments that 544 00:46:13,78 --> 00:46:19,45 we make every that's made every budget cycle is that we need to retain our in-house 545 00:46:19,46 --> 00:46:24,23 engineering staff because they help with the design work for the projects and we 546 00:46:24,24 --> 00:46:26,14 haven't had a lot of them recently and now we have 547 00:46:26,15 --> 00:46:31,56 a big one and now we're giving it ought to consultant and paying all that money our 548 00:46:31,57 --> 00:46:34,53 in-house staff is is committed at this point of course this is kind of 549 00:46:34,54 --> 00:46:41,23 a quickly Rick formulated plan that is needed to meet the development goals that 550 00:46:41,27 --> 00:46:46,15 came came to us through the opportunity with prep and the. Other development in the 551 00:46:46,16 --> 00:46:53,08 area so. It works. For the. Mr President 552 00:46:53,09 --> 00:46:57,82 again this is standard policy in practice has been so in the city for decades hard 553 00:46:57,83 --> 00:47:01,97 and high in work things like the Internet and street resurfacing program some of 554 00:47:01,98 --> 00:47:06,95 the like street lighting projects problems that we run into with the existing 555 00:47:06,96 --> 00:47:11,04 infrastructure need major maintenance or reconstruction all that design work is 556 00:47:11,05 --> 00:47:17,10 done in-house we also supervise design engineers all. Infrastructure Project 557 00:47:17,88 --> 00:47:20,39 build and it's modern history all had 558 00:47:20,40 --> 00:47:25,65 a consulting engineer as the lead designer we don't have to begin to have on up 559 00:47:25,66 --> 00:47:31,77 money or enough taxes to have. Staff of all the different disciplines there that 560 00:47:31,78 --> 00:47:33,05 would be required to do 561 00:47:33,06 --> 00:47:37,72 a full design on all of these projects plus all of the Grassman ship activities 562 00:47:37,97 --> 00:47:42,91 that are required to manage it hard in-house engineers oversee this work and 563 00:47:42,92 --> 00:47:47,47 coordinate with the consultants and with the state and I'll D.O.T. 564 00:47:47,48 --> 00:47:53,89 On on most of these projects Pardon me again but this is standard practice there's 565 00:47:53,90 --> 00:47:58,92 nothing here that's unusual or different from watched on with any project the 566 00:47:58,93 --> 00:48:03,38 amount of money it is relatively small compared to the design costs on some of the 567 00:48:03,42 --> 00:48:08,60 larger pieces of infrastructure that the city has has built over the years so I'm 568 00:48:08,61 --> 00:48:12,72 not sure what's different or unique about it is there anything unusual here that 569 00:48:12,73 --> 00:48:19,18 we're doing differently. I'd like. To know go ahead and bring some perspective this 570 00:48:19,19 --> 00:48:20,77 and this maybe this will explain it 571 00:48:20,78 --> 00:48:26,14 a little differently. One of the things that's consulting engineers going to do is 572 00:48:26,15 --> 00:48:29,15 they're going to take soil samples they're going to core down they're going to 573 00:48:29,16 --> 00:48:33,15 determine small composition the going to advance computer modeling of the 574 00:48:33,89 --> 00:48:38,31 properties of how want to will flow through the area they will have an advanced 575 00:48:38,74 --> 00:48:44,49 idea Fishel material has to be moved both in and out what come Palo how deep lead 576 00:48:44,50 --> 00:48:48,42 must be compacted. And so they'll have about 577 00:48:48,43 --> 00:48:53,13 a half spend when you know men amazing amount of man hours and their expertise 578 00:48:53,48 --> 00:48:57,12 determine where water flows where the you know where the stress points in the 579 00:48:57,13 --> 00:49:00,51 concrete how much compare compaction they're going to need what the load bearing 580 00:49:00,52 --> 00:49:04,38 properties of the soil are what they're going to have to do to get to to to 581 00:49:04,39 --> 00:49:04,82 a you know 582 00:49:04,83 --> 00:49:09,24 a bay bay some soil that will support the roadway and and whatever it's going to 583 00:49:09,25 --> 00:49:15,70 have to be utilities underneath the roadway it really. You know 584 00:49:15,91 --> 00:49:20,15 technically they tell us it's you know anywhere from six seven to ten percent of 585 00:49:20,16 --> 00:49:22,21 a construction cost but in 586 00:49:22,22 --> 00:49:28,63 a project of this nature it will be you know many hours of computer modeling and 587 00:49:28,89 --> 00:49:33,55 constantly refining their data going out on site and actually gaining you know 588 00:49:33,56 --> 00:49:38,09 where the hard data on what exactly what are the concurrent conditions and what 589 00:49:38,10 --> 00:49:42,05 alterations have to be made to the terrain but I hope that I hope that helps and 590 00:49:42,06 --> 00:49:42,97 helpful so I have 591 00:49:42,98 --> 00:49:47,38 a sense of the scope and depth of the work because obviously I didn't have 592 00:49:47,39 --> 00:49:54,20 a sense of that from just the task. For. The finding is coming 593 00:49:54,21 --> 00:49:59,34 from Tifton Is that correct it's worked. Perry thank you. 594 00:50:01,77 --> 00:50:08,17 Are there any other questions on this item. We just write. 595 00:50:10,55 --> 00:50:16,35 Is there motion. Move by Kinkaid second by Lukey and further discussion. 596 00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:25,98 In favor say aye opposed this is approved seven to zero eleven 597 00:50:25,99 --> 00:50:31,89 date resolution amending the two thousand and fifteen capital improvements budget 598 00:50:32,16 --> 00:50:37,14 and authorizing the purchase of new equipment for the fire department chief Leggett 599 00:50:37,14 --> 00:50:43,91 . Good evening city council. We better 600 00:50:43,92 --> 00:50:50,51 resolution to see them in the budget to purchase to fire and we are in the process 601 00:50:50,79 --> 00:50:56,38 of putting our We've put together as part of our strategic initiatives for two 602 00:50:56,39 --> 00:50:58,34 thousand and fourteen and fifteen 603 00:50:59,08 --> 00:51:04,02 a labor management committee to examine our fire apparatus we've had. 604 00:51:05,72 --> 00:51:06,13 Quite 605 00:51:06,14 --> 00:51:11,28 a bit of repairs over the last couple years. Well over one hundred thousand dollars 606 00:51:11,29 --> 00:51:15,46 worth of repairs to particular engines the two that are before you this evening to 607 00:51:15,47 --> 00:51:22,39 be replaced. These are critical pieces of equipment that we rely on every day from 608 00:51:22,40 --> 00:51:29,02 a life safety perspective and they're currently. Sixteen years old 609 00:51:29,34 --> 00:51:35,62 and eighteen years old respectively they're both at the end of their service life 610 00:51:36,36 --> 00:51:41,94 in the original equipment replacement plan for these engines we designed them to be 611 00:51:41,95 --> 00:51:46,73 replaced in thirteen years so one is three years beyond its useful life and the 612 00:51:46,74 --> 00:51:52,33 other is five years beyond its useful life. What we're looking for the C Evening is 613 00:51:52,55 --> 00:51:58,69 provable resolution to increase our funding for this year for the down payment on 614 00:51:58,70 --> 00:52:02,35 two engines. That's approximately 615 00:52:02,36 --> 00:52:08,48 a total. Allotment of four hundred two thousand five hundred seventy seven dollars 616 00:52:08,48 --> 00:52:15,31 . The increase in the funding for this year would be two hundred forty six 617 00:52:15,32 --> 00:52:21,66 thousand. Six hundred twenty seven over the request of one fifty five nine fifty 618 00:52:22,50 --> 00:52:29,37 originally we had intended to use. A. Portion 619 00:52:29,38 --> 00:52:35,00 of our equipment replacement fun for this and we are doing that but increasing the 620 00:52:35,01 --> 00:52:38,80 allotment from that equipment replacement fund So this is no new borrowing it's 621 00:52:38,81 --> 00:52:42,93 money that we have in-house in our equipment replaced with fun to to make the 622 00:52:42,94 --> 00:52:48,19 purchase this year now I know that this is half the purchase for two engine so the 623 00:52:48,20 --> 00:52:50,36 total purchase is going to be about four 624 00:52:50,37 --> 00:52:57,05 o two. Obvious are before zero four arcs to be eight zero for doing the math in my 625 00:52:57,06 --> 00:53:00,14 head on the fly sorry about that. We're. 626 00:53:03,85 --> 00:53:08,98 Going up the public bed for these the sequel but we've worked with Wisconsin vendor 627 00:53:08,99 --> 00:53:15,58 at this point to design the specifications for the rig both rigs and we are going 628 00:53:15,59 --> 00:53:21,42 to have purchasing incentives if this particular vendor is selected in the process 629 00:53:21,71 --> 00:53:28,42 that gives us discounts for ordering up to us what we will do 630 00:53:28,52 --> 00:53:33,48 from this perspective is. Make the purchase of these two edges with 631 00:53:33,49 --> 00:53:39,78 a down payment this year and in January and that are this year and then in January 632 00:53:39,79 --> 00:53:44,66 paying off the engines in the C I P for two thousand and sixteen with an expected 633 00:53:44,67 --> 00:53:51,14 livery sometime in early spring that early payment plan allows us some significant 634 00:53:51,15 --> 00:53:56,39 discounts from the vendor and then also gives us the ability to promise the 635 00:53:56,40 --> 00:53:59,37 purchase of a new of a third engine within 636 00:54:00,05 --> 00:54:04,67 a five three year. Period. Within 637 00:54:04,68 --> 00:54:08,39 a three year period and we get the same purchase price with the exception of 638 00:54:09,30 --> 00:54:14,50 increase in material cost by market values off stealing increases and costly atoms 639 00:54:14,51 --> 00:54:17,83 also. So it really does save us quite 640 00:54:17,84 --> 00:54:24,57 a bit of money over that period of time and this will get our fleet tire compliance 641 00:54:24,58 --> 00:54:28,55 with N.F.P.A. . Standards and have 642 00:54:28,56 --> 00:54:35,27 a sense safe more fuel efficient. Buttery missions and we'll be ready for 643 00:54:36,06 --> 00:54:39,93 protecting the citizens of the city boy that entertaining questions that you have. 644 00:54:41,25 --> 00:54:46,37 I'll start with one question How sure are we that we're going to purchase the third 645 00:54:46,38 --> 00:54:52,77 one within that time frame. They the third engine is also delivered in one thousand 646 00:54:52,78 --> 00:54:57,75 nine hundred nine we've just put rebuilt that engine completely basically the. 647 00:54:58,79 --> 00:55:03,58 Didn't was replaced transmission was replaced just recently so we're going to try 648 00:55:03,59 --> 00:55:07,96 to get another eighteen months to twenty four months out of that particular engine 649 00:55:07,97 --> 00:55:14,46 before we have to replace it. Truly. The pump is in some condition 650 00:55:15,02 --> 00:55:19,28 the engine itself is structurally deteriorating and it will be 651 00:55:19,29 --> 00:55:24,01 a good idea to replace it in the. Cancer Kinkaid. 652 00:55:27,44 --> 00:55:32,93 These are these are capital costs which we force foresaw so we shouldn't be 653 00:55:32,94 --> 00:55:38,49 surprised that we have to replace sixteen eighteen year old piece of equipment so 654 00:55:38,84 --> 00:55:43,97 I'm assuming that we've already understood it still has some some plan of our. 655 00:55:45,12 --> 00:55:46,97 Capital works planning R.C.M.P. 656 00:55:46,98 --> 00:55:52,54 Planning straight strategic planning we've taken into account wherever necessary 657 00:55:52,85 --> 00:55:58,21 the fact that we had these large expenditures which had to be taken care of when 658 00:55:58,52 --> 00:56:04,15 the fraud that equipment where and and move on so that is that reasonable 659 00:56:04,16 --> 00:56:11,14 assumption yes the from historical perspective in one nine hundred. Ninety seven. 660 00:56:12,73 --> 00:56:17,62 Prior city manager Gene wouldn't get your answer finance director worked with the 661 00:56:17,63 --> 00:56:20,70 fire department on a community based study where we had 662 00:56:20,71 --> 00:56:25,97 a community group command in assist us with our fire apparatus in our fire stations 663 00:56:25,97 --> 00:56:32,77 . We put together equipment replacement plan. Volved and equipment 664 00:56:32,78 --> 00:56:38,51 replacement fund that was actually at that point time fully funded. The money 665 00:56:38,52 --> 00:56:43,29 internally from department public works to purchase the engines we have now and pay 666 00:56:43,30 --> 00:56:49,93 that back over time and also. Contributed from our operating 667 00:56:49,94 --> 00:56:55,42 budget to that equipment replacement fund sorry there squawking in my air equipment 668 00:56:55,43 --> 00:57:01,59 replacement fun. To fund these engines when economy started decline 669 00:57:02,36 --> 00:57:09,31 in two thousand and seven and our costs internally are Levy freeze came in 670 00:57:09,32 --> 00:57:15,28 the play with the governor McCallum we begin to have to cut away from our operating 671 00:57:15,29 --> 00:57:22,10 budget to fund that program so over the last thirteen years now we have 672 00:57:22,11 --> 00:57:26,74 not been able to fund that program fully and now we're funding it only when the 673 00:57:26,75 --> 00:57:31,66 ambulance budget very minimal amount of about twenty five thousand dollars 674 00:57:31,67 --> 00:57:38,25 a year. And even that may not be able to be sustained in the in the curve. So. 675 00:57:39,72 --> 00:57:44,11 Right now that money's dried up the money that we're using here from the equipment 676 00:57:44,12 --> 00:57:47,76 replacement fine is really the last dollars that we have available to us in the 677 00:57:48,24 --> 00:57:53,44 replacement fund for the fire department from this point forward our person for 678 00:57:53,45 --> 00:58:00,22 engines will be under capital improvements. The city would be that 679 00:58:00,23 --> 00:58:01,81 our word referendum but pass 680 00:58:01,82 --> 00:58:06,59 a referendum find that it's not feasible for us this community wouldn't employ 681 00:58:06,60 --> 00:58:10,05 handle it and. So from 682 00:58:10,06 --> 00:58:13,86 a funding perspective our options are very limited if we look at 683 00:58:13,87 --> 00:58:20,30 a lease purchase type of. Type of program where we purchase 684 00:58:20,86 --> 00:58:25,10 the rigs through leasing them from the company that's an operational expenditure 685 00:58:25,11 --> 00:58:31,03 not c.a.p and we would have to cut our operating budget because of the levy freeze 686 00:58:31,75 --> 00:58:36,89 for that particular situation so funding these programs are very limited it's 687 00:58:36,90 --> 00:58:37,88 something we do have to have 688 00:58:37,89 --> 00:58:43,53 a long range plan and these rigs that we're purchasing now we're hoping that will 689 00:58:43,54 --> 00:58:47,96 last us at least ten years we can enter 690 00:58:47,97 --> 00:58:52,64 a program where we can have these rigs turned over in a in 691 00:58:52,65 --> 00:58:58,57 a ten year period with this particular vendor that we're looking at. And get 692 00:58:58,58 --> 00:59:04,13 a new rig six large discounts to help us keep 693 00:59:04,14 --> 00:59:09,40 a good rotation on that our rig was to put these on an eighteen month rotation over 694 00:59:09,41 --> 00:59:15,09 the next several years so that we didn't get them all in one year but our repair 695 00:59:15,10 --> 00:59:19,09 costs and our out of service time has exceeded our capacity be safe for our 696 00:59:19,10 --> 00:59:25,88 residents and safer employees so we need to get those into. Hope that 697 00:59:25,89 --> 00:59:32,83 helps. Cancer look at their modified time running the speed we 698 00:59:32,84 --> 00:59:37,31 can extend the useful race of these engines. Quite 699 00:59:37,32 --> 00:59:42,53 a bit I would assume and as far as repairs and maintenance did you have to send one 700 00:59:42,54 --> 00:59:46,19 every time an immense cost out because every time and once close out some of these 701 00:59:46,20 --> 00:59:51,76 trucks are tubes that correct not every time we send those out on critical medical 702 00:59:51,77 --> 00:59:57,77 calls where it vs life support is beneficial to the survival that patient seizures 703 00:59:57,78 --> 01:00:04,35 strokes heart attacks car accidents. Patients that might be very 704 01:00:04,36 --> 01:00:07,04 heavy. Stratus 705 01:00:07,05 --> 01:00:10,90 a breath those types of calls you know we don't typically send an engine out on 706 01:00:10,91 --> 01:00:12,26 a bloody nose or 707 01:00:12,27 --> 01:00:18,12 a broken leg or in the whole subject and that's done because you need the manpower 708 01:00:18,13 --> 01:00:22,01 out there and then if another call comes in the truck is not there they can go to 709 01:00:22,02 --> 01:00:28,95 the other cause that's correct. Happening right now in my ear. Thank 710 01:00:28,96 --> 01:00:35,69 you this cancer first Thank you Chief like it would be possible at our 711 01:00:35,70 --> 01:00:40,73 budget sessions for you to provide us with him in Torrey of the fleet and I kind of 712 01:00:40,74 --> 01:00:44,52 where they're at with longevity just so we can start forecasting where we're going 713 01:00:44,53 --> 01:00:49,24 to be out here that's actually part of our strategic plan the strategic objective 714 01:00:49,25 --> 01:00:54,63 for this year.

A lot of other government entities around the state have as well and 729 01:02:05,89 --> 01:02:10,59 it's another one of those programs that's had positive impact on the state setting 730 01:02:10,60 --> 01:02:16,56 aside thousands of acres over the years for open space for state parks or other 731 01:02:16,57 --> 01:02:21,07 leisure type services in operations not to mention environmentally mentally 732 01:02:21,08 --> 01:02:27,81 sensitive sites. The county shut the resolution on. The cities if we would 733 01:02:27,82 --> 01:02:32,03 consider this and support I once again we think this is really good public policy 734 01:02:32,04 --> 01:02:37,31 to continue the font and the process of acquiring real estate particularly again in 735 01:02:37,32 --> 01:02:41,87 environmentally sensitive areas so we wanted it submitted to council and I'd ask 736 01:02:41,88 --> 01:02:46,18 you to consider approving this and communicating this to our state delegation as 737 01:02:46,19 --> 01:02:52,45 well.
